"...Time Magazine Polls clearly show American people favor *..."
says Campbell Brown as she wonders why Kerry and the Dems aren't able to get any traction from the opposition to the war on terra. "Should they just give up" wondered Brown.

Brown cited stats with Bush having a 56% approval rating on handling the war on terra. (Of course, this is due to the bump this week from the antiquated intelligence used to call alerts, and, of course, they didn't post these stats when the polls weren't in Bush's favor.)

This is the same Campbell Brown who appeared genuinely perplexed earler this week when she stated how amazing it is that Kerry got no bounce from the convention even though it was aired around the clock. :eyes:

2. This is what comes from putting ditzy air heads on TV spouting
nonsense round the clock.This is followed by all-knowing dumbasses like Maureen (NoMo)Dowd strutting like a peacock saying nothing in 2500 word columns of hot air.

3. Don't they show that more would vote for JK than shrub though?
I thought that "voting" thing generally indicated which candidate was preferred?

Time Poll conducted by SRBI Public Affairs. Aug. 3-5, 2004. N=977 registered voters nationwide (MoE ± 4), 757 likely voters (MoE ± 4).

.

"Suppose the 2004 election for president were being held today, and you had to choose between John Kerry and John Edwards, the Democrats, and George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, the Republicans. For whom would you vote?" If undecided: "Even though you haven't made up your mind yet, do you lean more toward supporting Kerry or Bush?
.

Cheney Kerry/
Edwards Other

"Now suppose the 2004 election for president were being held today, and you had to choose between John Kerry, the Democrat; George W. Bush, the Republican; or Ralph Nader, running as an independent. For whom would you vote?" If undecided: "Even though you haven't made up your mind yet, do you lean more toward supporting Bush, Kerry, or Nader?"

5. Campbell cited a poll specifically on opinions on * handling terror
They know he isn't winning the vote but they so want to influence that by citing things like the terror stats.

7. They can Cheney themselves.
All that matters is the head to head matchup in the end. It doesn't matter if people would rather have Bush scare the shit out of them in the end.

Is that the same Time poll that has Kerry leading the incumbent 48-43. Did she mention this?

6. The poll was not on Kerry vs. Bush, it was approve/disapprove of Bush
handling the war on terror.
